The diorites and Sron a' Chro' granite of the Glen Tilt complex enclose hornblende-schist xenoliths derived from the Dalradian epidiorites of the country rock. Small hornblendite xeoliths are found in the complex but are restricted to the diorite outcrop. Porphyroblastic hornblende is developed within the schist xenoliths and reaction zones rich in hornblende are formed around the xenoliths. The mineralogical and textural characteristics of these reaction products suggest that the typical two-hornblende generation appinites of the complex represent modified hornblende schist. A similar origin for the quartz-orthoclase-appinite of the complex is rejected and their development from hornblendite is indicated.
